Sorry for the very, very, very, very late response. Hopefully this is still
useful information.
You'd use the PL_FILES argument to WriteMakefile() tell MakeMaker to run a
program in order to generate Grammar.pm.
PL_FILES => { 'yp_to_pm.PL' => 'lib/Grammar.pm' }
The PL_FILES docs in ExtUtils::MakeMaker should explain the details of writing
yp_to_pm.PL. Feel free to ask if anything is not clear.
